evinX Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Recently my NA has stalled on me while idling or coming to junctions. Sometimes when i fire it up it tries to stall out but holds. What should i be looking at? It had a new TPS fitted and set properly not long ago. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC93 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Checked all the vacuum lines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) It is likely to be a vac leak, in addition to checking all the hoses its worth checking the really old by now brake booster check valve. They can cause air leaks into the manifold that'll lead to idle problems. Things like that you may as well just change if its the original anyway.

m12aak Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 To echo what the other two are saying, I reckon it's also vacuum related. The wiring/connection to my vacuum sensor is a bit iffy at times, when i'd accidentally knocked it before it did have similar symptoms, i.e. it was hunting on idle, very low idle, and it died once (but I just tightened the connection before I drove off, so idk if it'd stall out at a junction etc.), so you might just want to check that's connected properly.

evinX Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 Checked all the vac lines and they looked fine, no splits. Did swap out the ICV for a spare and it didnt cut out or try to, will give itna few days and see what happens. But the ICV i removed looked better than the spare i had. Pretty sure its not the ECU causing it as the autobox runs fine, no erratic dash/needles. My mind keeps questioning the fuel relay if its fuel related Cheers for the replys chaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Sounds like you've answered your own question here. The icv may look old but jts the internals that matter I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabella Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 It's not how nice she looks, it's what's inside that matters, I think Noz was trying to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I was trying to say. If its nice inside, she matters lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
